Title: Spotted in france
Post by: Raux on May 23, 2009, 10:00:48 AM
So i'm sitting in St. Mere Eglis, a small village in france... and I see this nice red M696.

so i'm looking and see the guy had SS termis, red rim stripe, painted the brembo on the brakes, Pazzo shorties black with red adjusters, Rizoma turn signals (i think rizoma), DP rear tail, PC'd the front light, the exhaust shields and rearsets...

then i notice he had done the swingarm also! if you have PC'd the rearsets, you gotta do this. it looked amazing. but i must admit i wish he had PC'd the rear frame red since he had taken so much apart already and i think the PC was a bit too glossy... yeah yeah not even my bike and i'm not satisfied.

pictures.. yes i knew you would ask.. on my cell and when i return from france or pick up a bluetooth adaptor i will upload them.

You've been watching The Longest Day haven't you? [cheeky] Still, very appropriate reference since this is Memorial Day weekend. [thumbsup] [clap] [bow_down] God bless our troops then, now and in the future.
